Each year, there are more than a thousand students enrolled in the University Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) for undergraduate studies. Like most universities, UNIMAS will organise a week filled with activities and talks to ensure that every first-year student gets to be familiarised with their new academic home. Currently, new students can gain access to a softcopy version of the university guidebook which contains every necessary information that is densely packed into more than 60 pages. Thus, to lessen the amount of paper waste and take advantage of the modern technology such as smartphone, turning the university guidebook into a mobile yet interactive application could bring great benefits for new students of this modern generation. With the use of UNIMAS Prep, new students can have easy access to information required and manage their document efficiently. Furthermore, the implementation of gaming concept in an informative context mobile application will further encourage students to use UNIMAS Prep to explore UNIMAS in their term and in hope to enhance their first-year university experience.
